buyers guide book 2025 v2
“I definitely recommend this product. Our spa has been running 3 and a half years without being turned off except last month to refresh the water and every 4 months or so for filter cleans . Water didn't look in need of changing but the instructions advised an annual change. so we were two years overdue . The salt system worked flawlessly. Virtually no additional chemicals to balance the levels so I call it very easy to maintain. Very Happy!!”
